On-Demand Compliance Expertise
Export control decisions rarely wait for convenient timing. A customer suddenly asks for your product classification. An investor raises compliance questions during due diligence. A critical shipment is delayed because documentation doesn’t meet requirements. In these high-stakes moments, you need expert guidance immediately — not next month. We are available to help in those crucial moments on a short deadline.
By Your Side
We provide high-value, on-demand expertise to support export control decision-making at precisely these key moments — even outside the scope of pre-defined service packages or contracts. Whether you’re a mid-sized aerospace company navigating your first international deal or an established defense supplier facing an unexpected regulatory question, we adapt to your situation, your constraints, and your timeline. Before any licensing step, we determine the export classification of your items, ensuring you understand exactly which regulations apply — EU dual-use, ITAR, EAR, or national military goods lists — and what they mean for your specific transaction.
Executive guidance for complex or sensitive cases
When standard procedures don’t fit, we provide senior-level counsel for challenging scenarios. This includes navigating the transfer of US-controlled technology within multinational groups, where extraterritorial regulations create overlapping compliance obligations. We help you find clarity in dual-use grey zones, where the line between controlled and uncontrolled items isn’t immediately obvious and where misclassification can mean shipment delays, lost contracts, or worse.
Coaching of newly appointed Export Control Officers
Taking on compliance responsibilities can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re expected to hit the ground running. We help new ECOs frame their responsibilities clearly, understand their authority and limitations, clarify immediate priorities versus longer-term improvements, and accelerate their onboarding so they can confidently manage compliance from day one.
Last-minute requests driven by unexpected customer questions
Your customer needs a classification note by tomorrow. A contract includes compliance clauses you’ve never seen before. An end-use certification requires information you’re not sure how to provide. These urgent situations happen to every company doing international business with controlled goods. We respond quickly and practically, reviewing compliance clauses, preparing classification documentation, and helping you meet deadlines without cutting corners.
Post-incident response following an authority control
When regulators raise concerns, the response you provide matters enormously. We help you structure remediation plans that address root causes, coordinate corrective action across departments, and support board-level reporting with clarity and precision. Our experience with French and international regulatory environments means we understand what authorities expect — and how to demonstrate genuine commitment to compliance improvement.
Risk exposure analysis prior to strategic decisions
Major business moves carry compliance implications that aren’t always visible until it’s too late. Before mergers and acquisitions, we assess the target company’s export control posture and identify potential liabilities. When engaging critical suppliers or entering sovereign technology programs, we map the regulatory landscape so you can make informed decisions. Understanding your risk exposure before signing agreements is always cheaper than discovering problems afterward.
Each request is treated with a pragmatic, business-aligned approach — adapted to your company's operating model, compliance maturity, and time constraints. We don't apply one-size-fits-all solutions. A startup exporting encryption software faces different challenges than an established aerospace supplier managing ITAR-controlled components. We meet you where you are.
Please note: While we strive to respond with agility, not all requests can be fulfilled on short notice, especially those requiring in-depth analysis or documentation. We assess each situation with transparency.
